No problem, Thomas. ;-) As I said, that is (more or less) the JCL that I last used for MERGECAT. There is no reference in control statements to the JCL DD card. I suspect that the old requirement to 'mount' an online DASD volume--especially the one containing the master catalog--has been relaxed or eliminated. It seems pretty primitive the era of dynamic allocation. I did not consult official doc before posting.

Is it no longer required? I remember that in the past I had to code in the jcl several DD1 statements when I was doing a REPRO MERGECAT. Could you or somebody confirm? I ran test using your example and it worked. Just want to be sure. Sorry to sound like a doubting Thomas. Catalog maintenance makes me nervous. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
